Isn’t Steam Deck APU RDNA 2 at oeast? If so, it’s technically RT capable.

I unironically love this ai tune. This is what AI is supposed to be used for.

Thief, home of the slave.

To add to this: the origin of the name comes from Castlevania games that were made in the style of Metroid games (above definition), it later became a definition for all games with similar gameplay where your map progression is gated behind gear/skill progression. Great examples are, obviously, Metroid and Castlevania, but “recently” we got Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Grime and some others. Objectively you could say that Hollow Knight is the primary cause of the genre’s recent popularity with indie developers, as it was a super successful indie game.

Same. I could never understand how someone can be so out of themselves to break stuff they know costs quite a bit to replace. Just bang your head in the wall if you’re that angry.

The DLC areas are all incredible and unique, plus they make the biggest soul even bigger by a factor of two. It’s insane how much they add to the game.

I feel that DS2 is the most consistent of all 3 games. The game is an average 8 all the way through. While DS1 and DS3 have areas where the game hits an amazing 10, they also have areas where the game feels unfinished and the quality noticeably drops hard (after Anor Londo, after Abyss Sentinels), where it can feel you’re playing some weird AA shovelware project. BB is similar to DS2 in this aspect, but the whole game is at least a solid 9. Sekiro is the same again, the whole game is at least a solid 9.

I’m waiting to make a pc upgrade and buy new storage, then I’m switching.

“Art is never finished only abandoned” -someone

Can’t remember who said this, but it’s absolutely the truth. There’s always something which you feel that can be improved.

You live in a bubble. As a teacher, a lot of young students have already been indoctrinated into religion by the age of 12, most of them will never escape.

Is that pixel art? It looks like early 3d graphics.

I only remember the 3090 frying itself when playing New World, but, allegedly, that was only some units with faulty soldering.

It’s crazy that “lobbying budget” and “buying lobbyists” is a thing said in the openness and not illegal. Thanks for sharing this report, it’s a great (disgusting) read.

It’s a huge part of the business model. Social Media is valuable for its data on people, and for its ability to manipulate and influence people.

Biased, but absolutely right.

Being the devil’s advocate, I can somewhat think of these potential benefits:

• More energy efficient

• Faster memory speed with soldered memory (which this one in particular doesn’t use)

• Allows for increased performance and cooling of those chips

• Better integrated graphics

And maybe… hopefully… cheaper?

Yeah, it should have been a dlc, or, more likely, an expansion included with the switch 2 version. The original Switch was just not powerful enough for it. BotW is the gold standard for open worlds, and probably the most deserved GotY award ever given.

The world of ER feels lacking in comparison. To me, their biggest mistake was still trying to follow the old formula of “dead world”. It works fine when you’re limited to seeing only the important parts of the world. It stops working when you’re selling the idea that his huge land is all entirely dead, with the exception of some very few people.

The best open world is still Zelda BotW/TotK, and sadly, ER is not even close.

It’s already out, just a UE5 remaster. They were bored of reselling Skyrim for the upteenth time, decided to change pace a bit and resell Oblivion.

For good chinese Manhua, take a look at Ancient Sovereign of Eternity (aka Ultimate of All Ages), possibly the best ever Xianxia/Cultivation story in comic format. Magic (or Demon) Emperor is also great. And Martial Peak is good for the first 2000 or so chapters. Chinese comedy stuff tends to be fairly good as well, like Top Tier Providence.

Also, Solo Leveling is typical op MC done as cliched as possible, just the art style that’s quite good, although a bit overdone these days. Everybody is trying to copy Redice’s art right now. Koreans have crafted some amazing wuxia manhwas though: Gosu, Legend of the Northern Blade, and Red Storm are examples of amazing completed works in the martial arts murim genre.

It’s a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I’m all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only “FMMORPG”. I’d love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.
